More often than not, we are told to settle. We are told to compromise. When it comes to finding a significant other, this should not be the case.
With it being in the middle of relationship season I understand it might feel harder than ever to keep your standards high, especially when you watch all of your taken friends doing cute couple things on the internet. But when it comes down to it, why would you want to settle in a relationship? Sure, compromise should happen within the relationship, but by compromise I mean watching sports when you want to watch HGTV or vice-versa.
Compromising on when it comes to your deal breakers is dangerous. You might find yourself in a relationship with someone with whom you have nothing in common, or worse, polarized political beliefs.
It pays to be picky! Youíll regret hopping into a relationship just because “he’s a nice guy” or because heís the hottest thing youíve ever seen.
Being way too picky with hook-ups is an entirely different matter for an entirely different article ñbut when it comes to relationships your standards should stay high.
Do you need more convincing? Here are a couple reasons to keep your standards high when looking for a boyf or a gf.1. Character is more important than looks
Okay so the guy or the girl youíre talking to is smoking hot. Aside from looks, do they have any other redeeming qualities? No? Well, I hope you are their FWB and nothing else, because if youíre trying to start a relationship with this person youíre making a HUGE mistake.
Physical attraction is somewhat paramount in relationships, however itís not the most important thing. If this person is an asshole at their very core, what makes you think theyíll make a good partner?
Sure, a pretty face is important and a nice ass is a bonus. But when it comes down to it this person should be a kind, respectful individual that cares about you. Because if you end up dating a sexy yet shallow person you might find that they werenít dating you for you at all, but possibly for the material things you have to offer.2. If they don’t build you up, theyíre tearing you down
When it comes down to it, if your partner isnít adding to your experience then theyíre subtracting. If they arenít doing what they can to build you up, then theyíre probably making you feel shitty about yourself.
Regardless of how much you love this person, you need to keep in mind that you are important. If this person isnít seeing and respecting your value as a person and as their partner, then they are certainly not worth your time.3. Why waste your time with Drama Queens?

If you have a ridiculous amount of drama in your life and itís all thanks to your significant other, then you ought to kick them to the curb.

Relationships are complicated and inherently come with some amount of drama. But if your life is consumed in your boyfriend or girlfriendís drama, then the relationship is no longer about you. Itís entirely about them and their needs.

Rid yourself of any unnecessary drama by not dating drama queens. I promise you, itís not worth the stress.

So, when youíre out circulating the dating pool, make sure to keep your standards high. Not insurmountably high, but high enough to weed out all the losers, drama queens, and assholes. Happy dating!

About Me

Hi! My name is Eric and I am a dating coach and a couples therapist. I finally got my doctorates degree in psychology about a year and a half ago and since then I have been giving professional advice on dating and I also just started helping people find a significant other. Starting in college, I wanted to do something in biology because I have always been so fascinated with the way our mind and bodies work but as I went into my sophomore year of college I realized that I was more interested in the brain. I took a class about relationships and how our brains react when we find someone we like or love and that’s when I decided I wanted to be a psychologist and help couples through rough patches. Especially coming from a family of divorce, I wanted to do something to help couples from turning to that decision. I think it is pathetic and disappointing how common divorce is right now. Back in the 50’s divorce would’ve never been a choice and couples would’ve been forced to work it out and in the end they stay together until death do them part. I am here to help and to spread my knowledge so I hope you guys take away from this blog.
